Good luck with your grievance. When you file it you will need the contractual reference. Here it is...

4.D.1.b.
Minimum pay for a trip that is not rescheduled shall be the greatest of the
following:
a. Flight pay (as per Section 2.T) for the entire trip; or
b. Four and one-half hours per duty period for the entire trip for multiple duty period trips, or four hours per duty period for single duty period trips; further, a pilot shall be credited for pay purposes with one additional duty period (four and one-half hours) for each scheduled away-from-domicile layover that exceeds a continuous 22-hour period;

I heard you used to have min pay per day but gave it back in contract 2003. Maybe he is thinking of that.

Its a common misconception, especially with the recent pairings that have report times on the previous day or redeyes that arrive in the early morning hours of the last day.

Ok, ok. Upon further review, you are correct. I was misinterpreting the language. Apologies...

Yep, traded away in 2003 for the promise of expansion. I was in a road show in DTW when a senior guy tried to explain to the reps that the language amounted to trip averaging, and the official explanation was given that it was better than what we had.

I'm surprised that anyone still believes that we have calender day min pay. It's been gone a long time.

FWIW, my NO vote was specifically related to trip averaging - duty period guarantee vs daily guarantee. A smarter than myself friend ran the numbers back then and came up with an 18% loss due to this trip average deal.

Now we need to get together, stop bi678tching about little stuff like uniforms and work on making this average bovine scat go away in three years.

Are there any former Comair pilots at Spirit who might be able to offer a hand getting a soon-to-be out-of-work (thanks Delta) Comair pilot on at Spirit? I've had my sights set on Spirit (even before Delta's decision to shut Comair down), but I'm having difficulty breaking through. Thanks in advance . . .

We do have a fair amount of ex Comair guys. I hope one of them will be able to help. Good Luck.

Hello PokerPro, Unfortunately, APC doesn't allow new users to send a PM until they've made 10 posts. Not sure, though, whether you can send me a PM. If so, please do . . .
